Saucy Meatloaf

This is so thin because I used a full size loaf pan for only one pound of ground beef.  I should have used a small size loaf pan.  But so tasty.

I have never eaten meatloaf!  Can you imagine?  All this time and I have never tried it.  I don't eat a lot of ground beef, or any meat, for that matter.  I had a pound of ground beef, some braised short ribs and all the other ingredients in my freezer and pantry.  I had a whim to make a meatloaf sandwich.



Upon researching recipes it was evident that you can do what ever you want.  This is so tasty and I know the sandwiches will be succulent and flavourful.  The addition of the braised short rib meat with the ground beef adds so much texture and flavour.

Sarah's Version of Meatloaf

1 pound ground beef

1/2 pound braised short ribs

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 slice of my homemade multigrain bread

warm water

2 tablespoons finely minced onion

1 clove garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard

salt and pepper to taste



Preheat the oven to 375F.



Soak the bread in warm water until soggy.  Squeeze out all the water and discard water.



Mix the ground beef, short ribs, seasonings, and bread until evenly mixed.



Press into an oiled small loaf pan.



Bake for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160F.  Take out of the oven and brush the top with more barbecue sauce.  Return to the oven for 15 minutes.



Drain excess fat and serve immediately or chill and slice for sandwiches.
